Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    The Scottish Newburg council should release a statement:

    “We need Trump International Golf for national security and international security. We need it. We have to have it. We never take military force off the table.”

    All golf courses except those for public use should be appropriated by the state and converted to public housing

      Public housing, natural forests, community gardens. Abolish golf.

      Golf courses take up more land than is used for sustainable energy. They take up huge amounts of water, poison the land with pesticides, reduce biodiversity, and are used by rich parasites only.

      Drones definitely seems like a viable attack vector especially on a golf course. I wonder how they could even mitigate unless they had people constantly patrolling with jamming devices

    The GOP version of “Everybody I don’t like is a nazi!” It’s “Everybody I don’t like is a terrorist!” Pathetic

    You know, if you just want to help the environment of Trump’s golf courses, and also not be arrested for trespassing, seeds are really cheap. Especially hearty grasses.

      Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.

      Yes, always has been. That’s partly why the FBI got MLK 360 no-scoped while the KKK are special little boys who get no consequences ever.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Using the label “terrorism” does two things for Telsa dealerships and Trump properties:

      1. They impose unreasonably harsh penalties for the crimes.
      2. Any damages are paid for by … taxpayers.

    I dont give a rat’s ass about his stupid golf courses. Waste of good land, they should be turned into public parks. I’m more concerned with harsh punishment for the vandals that are destroying our country.
